“Sush was amazing! She took my dog to the groomers for me and everything! She communicated with me and sent pictures and just was overall professional! I recommend her and also will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Musa and his family are wonderful with our dog, who can be quite quirky. He was extremely excited to see Musa when I dropped him off... which has never happened with a sitter before. Thank you for caring for him so well!”
“Karen took great care of our little anxious dog. She sent lots of pics and reassurance that Sophie was doing great and well taken care of. She sent lots of pics and updates everyday!”
“My very first time utilizing Rover service providers. I’m so thrilled and pleased with the care that Christine provided. Our initial meet & great definitely eased my anxiety and Marlee took to her right away. Christine provided updates and photos during Marlee’s stay. I could see from the pics that Marlee was enjoying her time and blended well with the other dogs present. Definitely plan to board w/ Christine again. Thanks for taking good care of my fur baby and easing her separation anxiety.”
“Andrew is great and will take care of your dog as if it was his own. He is quick with responses if you have any questions and will send plenty of updates about your dog. Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to watch your pet.”
“My dogs spent 2 weeks with Lowell. Binnie and Bender loved playing with other dogs and spending time with Lowell. Lowell is very knowledgeable about dogs and provided me great insight on some of the issues I've previously experienced. I went and implemented his recommendations at home as well. We will definitely go back to see him for future stays. There are plenty of friends at Lowell's and my dogs thrived in that environment”
“This is my second time booking with Helena & Nathan! Louis loves doing zoomies in their backyard and came back home exhausted. He had a minor paw injury before dropping him off which required them to clean his paw every night and they had no problem doing it. Thanks so much!!”
“Nadia & her family took great care of my 2yo Canaan. They have a big backyard & took her for more walks than we ever do! Honestly our pup may have been sad to leave! Great communication & would definitely reach out again.”
“Our senior pup stayed with Michelle for one week while we were on vacation. Michelle provided daily updates with pictures and we were comforted knowing our pup was well taken care of. Being an older dog, our pup enjoys a calm environment which Michelle absolutely provided. She has a large backyard with plenty of smells that I know our hound just loved. We will absolutely use Michelle next time we need boarding.”
“John and Sonia were great. John sent me updates and photos of how Wendy was doing through out her stay with him, and I could see that she was enjoying her time with John and Sonia. I am glad I found him on Rover. I won't hesitate to entrust Wendy under his care.”
“We had a positive experience with our sitter, Byamba. Though we had a tricky situation with one of our dogs initially (Mulan), Byamba truly went above and beyond to help us find a better arrangement for her. It wasn’t easy, but he handled it with patience and care. For the remainder of the stay, he took wonderful care of our other dog, Juke. We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!”
“Shayla is amazing! Pretty sure my dog had the BEST time with her and thought he was on his own vacation while I was on mine haha. She sent me lots of pictures and videos so I could see my baby bear while I was on my trip. Can't recommend enough and will definitely be requesting her service again. Thank you Shayla!”
“Brianna was wonderful! She took great care of my dog for three days and sent me beautiful pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Brianna and would definitely trust her again. Thank you!☺️”
“Kerstyn took great care of our pup Jane! We received daily updates plus photos. Jane also loved playing with Freya! One thing we appreciated was Kerstyn’s patience with Jane, who is slightly anxious and needs a little time to get used to new situations.”
“Ruidi took wonderful care of my pitbull mix Sunny. She sent lots of nice pictures during the stay, and she took the time to cook yummy chicken and broccoli for Sunny to enjoy. Sunny usually eats dog food. So I'm sure this was a lovely vacation for her. Ruidi is a loving and caring dogsitter, and I would recommend her!”
“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunn Loring
Loreen is such an amazing person overall! I was so nervous about leaving my dog, Kian, with someone while going on an overseas trip, and Loreen completely understood how I felt. She gave me so much comfort and reassurance, which made leaving him so much easier. Throughout Kian’s stay, she sent me lots of pictures and videos, which I absolutely loved and appreciated. She gave him so much love, cuddles, attention, and of course, plenty of scratches! She also made sure to keep up with his normal routine, which was really important to me. I had such a great experience leaving Kian with Loreen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my dog, having that peace of mind meant everything to me. I absolutely love Loreen and honestly wouldn’t want anyone else taking care of Kian! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my baby! ❤️🙏🏻
Shayla is amazing! Pretty sure my dog had the BEST time with her and thought he was on his own vacation while I was on mine haha. She sent me lots of pictures and videos so I could see my baby bear while I was on my trip. Can't recommend enough and will definitely be requesting her service again. Thank you Shayla!
Nadine was GREAT! Gizmo only took a day or two to get out of his shy mode and then he was turning over to have her rub his belly. She kept me updated with photos and messages on how he was doing. When I picked him up she even had a cute little blue bow on him. It was the cutest thing.
Shirin is a phenomenal sitter. She takes care of them like they are her own. Poppy had such a wonderful stay. She was loved and cared for. It was such a wonderful feeling to know she was in good hands and she had people who loved her as much as I do. She sent pictures and information frequently each day. If you are lucky enough to have her watch your dog, you will be very glad that you asked her to do it.
Susan was so great with my dog! Emy had trauma in her early life before we rescued her so she can be very anxious around new people. Susan was so patient with her and when we picked her up I think she listened and behaved better for Susan than she did for us! LOL. Our dog really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in the house and LOVED the big, fenced in backyard.
Megan was amazing with Bentley! She sent a ton of photos, videos, and updates on how he ate and slept throughout the weekend. She made sure Bentley got lots of walks and exercise even with the rain. Bentley had a blast! Thank you Megan for taking great care of him and sending so many updates!

94% of sitters in Dunn Loring can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dunn Loring home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dunn Loring.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dunn Loring sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
